  • This tour attempts to bring together two major sights in Bangkok, offering a rich take on Thailand’s everlasting cultural heritage and appeal. There are different packages to choose from within the ticket, including visits to The Ancient City and Erawan Museum. For those looking to have an all-rounded Thai experience, you can add a Khan Toke lunch or dinner to the equation. Khan Toke does not signify the cuisine but the presentation of the food. It is a small round wooden table, adorned with carvings and finished with lacquer.

    Discover History Ancient City

    Ancient City is one of the world’s largest open-air museums. Comprising of many replicas and reconstructions of Thailand's historically significant structures, this city is essentially a scaled-down version of Thailand in itself.
